Chapter 55:

The next morning came and the two lovers were tangled together in Emily's bed. Emily was lying on her back with her arm around JJ, the blonde wrapped around her body using her as a human teddy bear. Emily woke before JJ and lay silently and watched her. She smiled down and caressed JJ's arm. At the gentle touch JJ snuggled even closer. The brunette kissed the blonde's forehead before leaning over to see what time it was.

"Baby, I need to go to work." Emily kissed the blonde's forehead again and tried to untangle herself.

"No... Stay with me forever!" JJ mumbled sleepy into Emily's neck. The brunette chuckled lightly before carefully sliding off the bed. She tok a quick shower before returning to the bedroom. The blonde was now splayed across the bed, sleeping deeply. Emily got dressed and set a note and a key on her nightstand. She kissed JJ's forehead once more before heading off to work.

Walking out to her car she caught herself humming. Last night had been great, and there was nothing like waking up with JJ in her arms. She decided to take a small detour and pick up coffee for the team before going into the office.

At Quantico things were messy. Without the liaison, the team had to do JJ's work as well as their own and with the five extra cases Anderson had thrown their way the profiler was in for a day of paperwork.

Emil came smiling into the office.

"Looks like you and JJ had a good night!" Morgan said teasingly while she handed him his coffee.

"What makes you say that?" Emily shot back playfully.

"The smile on your face"

"So, I can't be happy?"

"With the amount of paperwork we have on our desks? No way!" He shook his head. Emily just smiled and walked over to Reid with his coffee. The smile stayed on her face as she sat down and started on the mountain of paperwork on her desk.

"You are the best girlfriend ever! Last night was amazing! But I can't believe you went to work! Miss you already!"

Elbow deep down in paperwork Emily's smile was long forgotten. But when she received a message from her girlfriend it returned before she even read the message.

"Aaaww... Miss you too! I didn't want to wake you, you were sleeping so peacefully. Maybe we could grab lunch?"

At his own desk, Morgan looked up in time to catch a Emily go from tired and slightly annoyed to happy with a goofy grin on her face. He was glad her friend had finally found someone how was worthy of her love.

"I'm glad you're happy Em!" He said honestly with a smile, "it makes me believe that there is such thing as love out in the crapy world."

"You know it's all her," the brunette smiled back, "she makes me believe in things I never did before. She makes me believe in love too." Emily's eyes lit up as soon as she started to think about JJ and her smiled got even wider once she talked about the blonde.

"I would love to! I'll come and pick you up around 1?"

"Sounds perfect. Can't wait! Love you xx."

"Love you too!"

Emily put down her phone and smiled happily. Only three hours till lunch.

When JJ woke up she was a bit confused. But then she remembered the amazing date and then the night in Emily's apartment. She looked around for any signs of the brunette, but there were none. A little disappointed she turned to her left and noticed a key sitting on the night stand. Under the key was a folded paper with her name written on it. Curious she lifted the note from under the key, settled against the pillows and started to read.

"My dearest Jennifer,

First let me apologize for not being there when you wake up. I wanted nothing more than to stay with you in my arms forever, but I needed to go to work."

The blonde had figured Emily had to go to work. She knew things would be crazier than normal with her gone and she couldn't imagine what it would be like if the brunette was gone too. She found it adorable that Emily actually apologized for it though. With a smile on her face, she kept reading.

"Last night was amazing. You are amazing! Every single day you make me fall more in love with you Jennifer. The key is forever yours. I wanted to give it to you in person, but seeing as I am now at work and you're in my bed, it was impossible. Please feel free to use the key whenever you want to, you don't have to ask to come over to my place; mi casa es su casa!

I love you my darling!

Your Emily xx"

After reading the little note three times, JJ, with a huge smile on her face, went in search for something to wear. Clad in Emily's robe, the blonde sat down on her girlfriend's bed and pulled out her Blackberry.

"You are the best girlfriend ever! Last night was amazing! But I can't believe you went to work! Miss you already!"

She hit send and lay back on the bed. Their date had been truly amazing, no one had ever treated her the way the brunette had last night. She had wondered if they had moved too fast, but right now, lying in Emily's bed, all she could think about was the brunette. Her girlfriend had only been gone for three hours, but she already missed her.

"Aaaww... Miss you too! I didn't want to wake you, you were sleeping so peacefully. Maybe we could grab lunch?"

Emily's reply made her smile. The brunette missed her as well! JJ wrote a quick reply.

"I would love to! I'll come and pick you up around 1?"

"Sounds perfect. Can't wait! Love you xx."

"Love you too!"

Only three hours till lunch! JJ smiled and got out of bed, she hoped she could find enough things to do to occupy her mind making time go faster.

Two hours and forty five minutes later

JJ hummed happily as she pulled into the parking lot at Quantico. After showering and breakfast she had used her new key to lock herself out of Emily's apartment, taking a cab back to her own place. Time had went by slowly, but she was finally here. Walking into the elevator, she almost bounced up and down as it moved up to the BAU floor.

Finally she arrived the BAU's floor and JJ hurried out of the elevator. With her confident swagger she walked towards the doors that lead her into her workplace. Hand reaching out to touch the door she suddenly froze when someone started to talk to her.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't ms. can't handle the job"

Spinning around she were standing face to face with non other than agent Anderson.
